Jesus Christ. Why the hell does one person, much less 200,000 decide to live there?

Truer words have never been spoken

Everyone knows that Yakutsk is only useful as a gateway to Irkutsk and Kamchatka, and thence into North America. Because, really, nobody ever manages to hold Asia for long.

You stay warm by having lots and lots of sex

It must be this way due to global warming.

Reminds me Orkutsk from Dragon Quest 8.

I must say, it must be real hard for the men in that town to get it up when it comes time.

Does this mean the term "blueballs" gets a another meaning?

The only reason why I know where Yakutsk is, is because it's one of the last countries you take over in a game of Risk.

yup. some programs with page layout templates have text blocks with that stuff as filler text. does anyone proofread or edit this stuff before it goes up? sheesh.

Wow, balmy 13 out here in Colorado.

I wonder if field goal kickers do as poorly in Siberia.

It's going to be like -15c to -20c here tonight, with a wind chill around -30c and that's hella cold. -50c forfarkingetit.

Frikken HELL! I was reading the article and suddenly a tear opened up in the fabric of time and space and these demons from some hellish dimension came through it and started raiding me fridge. Anyone know how to get them to leave?

Until the packers...LOST! Field goal in overtime.

I think you need an orangutan.

Great description of the cold. If the writer had stuck around their tolerance would have quickly gone up to an hour or so. It's pretty amazing.

It's always cold in Siberia.

-18C here. I know it's not winter until I have to take my earrings to work in my purse, or they'll freeze in my ears.

Taloyoak, Nunavut Canada

Observed at: Taloyoak Airport 8:00 PM MST Sunday 20 January 2008

Temperature-38°C

Visibility 2 km
Wind Chill -58ºC

Sunrise 10:08
Sunset 12:42


Over the next 5 days, the high is -26ºC and low of -38ºC. It's not even close to being one of the furthest north cities in Nunavut.

FTFA: Anton Chekhov, on his journey through Siberia in 1890, painted a grim picture of the life of the prisoners held there. "They have lost whatever warmth they once had," wrote Chekhov about a group of men he encountered in Western Siberia. "The only things that remain in life for them [are] vodka, sluts, more sluts, more vodka... They are no longer human beings but wild beasts."

I thought this was supposed to be a bad place?

oh, and I must add...

TFA: Almost without exception, the women wear fur from head to toe, much of it locally produced. In such a climate, ethics count for little. "I saw on the television that in Europe you have these lunatics who say it's not nice to wear fur because they love animals," says Natasha, a Yakutsk resident, who's sporting a coat made of rabbit and a fetching hat of arctic fox, with a fox tail hanging from each side and tied in a knot at the end to look like plaits. "They should come and live in Siberia for a couple of months and then see if they are still so worried about the animals. You need to wear fur here to survive. Nothing else keeps you warm."


As an animal rights advocate who is usually disgusted by those who wear skin and hair OTHER than their OWN,
I think it's a fair exception in places like this.
I mean, it IS being produced locally, and it's not like they're wearing fur as some snobbish fashion statement.

It's those rich biatches who flaunt their $20K coats of baby mink and whatnot...only because they feel entitled to wear the most outrageously-priced, high-fashion scraps of tortured animal hide, completely disregarding the means by which that shiat was produced...
they don't NEED it--hell, they have a whole closet full of them, most usually get worn once or twice before another is added to the collection. THOSE are the people who piss me off.

-11C here in PA, guess I'll count myself very lucky and tell my boyfriend to quit his biatching about the cold.

One winter in the mountains of Colorado (at around 12,000 ft) I experienced -50F. Words cannot really describe what it feels like, but this author did a fair job.
